DEMOS (Dialogovaya Edinaya Mobilnaya Operatsionnaya Sistema: Russian: Диалоговая Единая Мобильная Операционная Система, ДЕМОС, lit. 'Interactive Unified Portable Operating System') is a Unix-like operating system developed in the Soviet Union. It is derived from Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) Unix.
It's development was initiated in the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy in Moscow in 1982, and development continued in cooperation from other institutes, and commercialized by DEMOS Co-operative which employed most key contributors to DEMOS and to its earlier alternative, MNOS (a clone of Version 6 Unix). MNOS and DEMOS version 1.x were gradually merged from 1986 until 1990, leaving the joint OS, DEMOS version 2.x, with support for different Cyrillic script character encoding (charsets) (KOI-8 and U-code, used in DEMOS 1 and MNOS, respectively).
Initially it was developed for SM-4 (a PDP-11/40 clone) and SM-1600. Later it was ported to Elektronika-1082, BESM, ES EVM, clones of VAX-11 (SM-1700), and several other platforms, including PC/XT, Elektronika-85 (a clone of DEC Professional), and several Motorola 68020-based microcomputers.
The development of DEMOS effectively ceased in 1991, when the second project of the DEMOS team, RELCOM, took priority.

yeah, I'd need to be on the lower end of a healthy bmi before I'd feel copmfortblespoiler
that's where i feel good as well. it's when my bmi starts to push above 20 that I chicken out. If I'm gonna do it I think I just need to not step on a scale until i've cycled up and gotten down again.I'm just gonna get to my goal weight, or close, and then start cycling

I'm just trying to get back to not obese after the usual summer weight gain right now, but would like to at least get down to a BMI of 25 - not sure if I've been that low since Elementary school though (maybe briefly after a growth spurt?). Haven't been physically active that much since the summer, so didn't start really losing weight until about 2 weeks ago. Do still want to get back to being physically active though, separate from weight loss. Can't imagine intentionally weight gaining anytime soon, but since I seasonally unintentionally gain weight, I guess that doesn't matter.
